The worst part of this isn't that Trump's incompetent. We've had incompetent presidents before and we've gotten through their times in office. But what sets Trump apart from every single one of his incompetent predecessors is that he literally has no idea just how incompetent he truly really is.

Past incompetent presidents (as well as quite a few competent ones) had the good sense to draw upon best practices, institutional memory and a long history of established policies that are above partisan and petty politics. Also, these same predecessors all valued public service above personal gain. They all had an inkling what constituted conflicts of interest, even though some of them dabbled in them.

Trump, on the other hand, doesn't understand any of these time honored concepts at all. He doesn't even understand America and our role in the world. He's simply doesn't understand how ill-prepared and incompetent he is to be President of the United States. No one will tell him, and if they did he wouldn't listen and he's going to go out of his way to NOT acknowledge the fact of expertise and competence where it exists.

For the next four years, The White House will be one huge Dunning-Kruger experiment in action. Like a giant petri dish of it right there on Penn. Av. Thanks to all of the idiots, bigots, sexist pigs and ill-tempered assholes who voted for this Cheetos-Tinged fraud, we are ALL fucked. Because most of them are just as bad with it as he is.

And may the Flying Spaghetti Monster have mercy on all of our souls.
